A February 24 2020 “Situation Report” prepared for Tam, Health Minister Patty Hajdu and ministry officials noted they altered health information being given to arrivals to Canadian airports about the coronavirus.
“As of February 24, screen messages in the arrivals area at ten airports were updated with new language that refers generally to COVID-19 and no longer mentions China. New handouts for all travellers were also available at three airports (Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver). New posters for all airports, and new handouts for the remaining seven, smaller international airports will be available later this week.
CBSA reports that from January 22 to February 23, 61,826 travellers arrived directly from China’s Mainland to Canada.”
